Resources from the Course

This includes lectures, exercises, modules, and links to modules, packages, and datasets used in the short course. The resources are arranged by sections of the short course, given in the order of the Schedule:

If you want all the files, the above files are available as the files.tar (73 Mb) collection of files. (This tarball contains datasets and code for the class, as well as the lectures and exercises slides.) Untar the collection by changing your current working directory to the one files.tar is in and then using the Unix command:

tar xvf files.tar

A directory files will be created in your current working directory, with the contents inside. If you cannot use the Unix tar command, visit the index page of files and download each file individually.

Note that some of the presentations make reference to the class virtual machine (VM). That VM is not available for download because of the large size of the file. Thus, the location of the Python, IDLE, f2py, etc. on your machine will probably differ from the class VM.
